TRIBUTE TO THE FOOT SOLDIER Infantry Day was observed on Thursday of this week, and it would be well for all of to reflect bit on the foot soldier -in today' s global war and giv.e unstinted recognition to the impo 'rtant part he plays in modern combat. Action in Africa, in Italy--invasions in the South Pacific. and now the invasion in France--ail have served to prove that the infantry is still "Queen of Batties." Glloting from an Air Forces we, too, want "to take our hats off to the Infantry," and we're all "mighty glad that the old Infantry is in there slugging." "What do they do in the Infantry?" the Air Forces paper as.lq!: "Mo::!'t of us in the air corps _.have of what the Army likes to call esprit de corps. We're mighty proud of that Air Forces patch on our left shoulder. And:proud, too, of the job our airmen are all over the globe." "But we don't sacrifice any of our esp r i t or pride in outfit when we take ou r hats off to the Infantry, or for thatmatter any of the other arms or services for their share in the coming victory. "For t oo long the Infantry has been pictured as an outmoded, old-fashioned, foot-slogging outfit of riflemen. Actu ally,-the infantryman of today_ comes close to being a man of all weapons. Except for the plane, the tank and the artillery, the Infantry uses most of the weapons in the arsenal of the modern army; no t only the rifle and bayonet, b u t the tommygun, machine gun, mortar, hand and rifle grenades, bazooka, flame thrower, good sized anti-tank artillery. Often he still must slog along through mud and dust, toting' all this new arsen al o f weap on s to the point of action, and t hen fight for them. F o r a long time the public had the idea that the Air F orces had the most dangerous job in this war. But no less an authority than Lt. Gen. McNair, chief of the Army Groun d Forces, has said that thus far in World War II, the Infantry 'takes more than half our total battle losses.' "Even airmen recognize this fact. Most airmen who have been in combat will agree with aB-24pilot in the Pacific, who said recently, 'Those poor, muddy, miserable guys go through more hell in one battle than we could possibly go in a whole war. 1 "Said a naval officer at Attu: 'It makes me feel guilty when I think of what the soldiers are suffering out there, climbing up mountains in the face of fire. And here I sit on a warm ship, eating a steak "'It takes the man with the rifle, the TYHDALL TARGET Legion News Service 'This is urgent and important, lieutenant; some more paper and pencils.'

"And now the public, the press, and the Hollywood films are waking up to the fact that the infantryman is in this war too. They're beginning to give him the credit and the homage he so well deserves. "Sure, 'Nothing can stop the .Army Air Corps.' we're mighty glad that the old Infantry is in there its way to Berlin and Tokyo." Servicea Diviaion Hq. 4th SvC. 'IiI J.--. coLvMN CERTAIN VICTORY "If Ny which a1"e called by Ny nflllle, shaH and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wi eked ways; then win I he a,. fros heaven, and wH forgive. their sin, and their land:" --II ChronicLes ?: 1/J. CERTAIN VICTORY is God's promise--bu note that it is based upon a conditio which we must fulfill. We are all looking to the day of.victory and are anxious for that day to arrive. We received the news of the 'invasion with great eagerness because we hope that means that victory is near. We praise God for our country, a country founded upon Christian principles. Note the verse speaks to those Who are called His people. We Americans call our country Christian--that is "Christ ones.'' We are called by his name. Yet is it not true of us as a nation that we have grown proud andself sufficient and that we have dis-honored God? God's first condition for victory is humility. We must humble admit our weakness and dependence upon Him. The we need to "pray and seek .His face. Some one has written concerning prayer, "Let us never forget that the greatest thing we can do for God or for man is to pray. For we can accomplish far more by our prayers than by our work. Prayer is omnipotent; it can do anything that God can do! When we pray, God all know how to pray, but perhaps many of us need to cry as the disciples did of old, 'Lord teach us to pray'." The next condition is to turn from our wicked ways. Can we expect God to bless us when we hear those about us cursing God and using His name in vain? Can we look for the blessing of God if we are living for the devil? This applies to us _all, for Paul says "there is_ none righteous, no not one for all have sinned and come short of the glory of God." Also Paul tells us that the "wages of sin is death"...:.....eternal death but he adds "the gift of God is eterna life through Jesus Christ our Lord." Although we are sinful God promises to forgive our sins if we confess them. "If we Confess-our sins He is faithful and just to forgive our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness." He is the one who can enable us to turn from our wicked ways. When the conditions are met then God promises to "hear from heaven," "forgive our sins" and "heal our land." Are we willing to meet the conditions. Are we willing to "humble ourselvesand pray and seek His face and turn from our wicked ways" that_our sins might-be for given and our land hea'ied? If we are then God promises CERTAIN VICTORY. Let us humbly pray and seek God's face an 'turn from our wicked ways that God rna forgive our sins and us CERTAIN VICTORY in our own lives as well as in this war. --CHAPLAIN COCHRAN TAKE YOUR PICK "The people should be satisfied with the lowest standard of living. The craving for a life of ease must be abandoned." --'f.AKEKOSUKE KilANO!O Vice Director, Japanese K _ational Planning Board "In the world of modern technology the possibilities of abundant are so great that it is only a question of time until we can bring the blessing of freedom from to everyone." --YICI PRKSIDKU HENRY .A.

Q. I'm in a post hospital where I have been confined since contracting venereal disease. My pay has been stopped, of course but I'm worried about my al lowance. Has that been stopped too? A. No. Loss of pay during ab lience of duty caused by a venereal disease does not stop allowances of pay to dependents under the Servicemen's Dependents AI !owance Act. The same applies to msurance payments, which are coutinued by the Army and later collected from the GI when he is restored to duty. Q. Can you give me some dope on the Armed Forces Institute's "accreditation" service, whereby soldiers can be aided in securing post-war employment in the Federal Civil Service? A. Well, in a nv.tshell, this service is conducted by the AFI to help Gls who are seeking Civil Service jobs. By putting their Army training or experience on record now, veterans who later apply for Federal jobs will be able to receive full credit, in appropriate Civil Service exams, for skills acquired in the armed forces. To be accredited, these skills need not be acquired in connection with an Institute course but may be the result of any Army training or experience. For more data on this service, write to the Armed Forces Institute, Madison, Wis. Q Hey, look-enlisted men are permitted to wear shoulder loops on their blouses, jackets and overcoats. Why can't we wear them on our shirts? A. That's simple. Shoulder loops on shirts are "for officers only." See AR 600-35, Par. 15 Q. I've been in the Army a month. When I was inducted I took out $5,000 in National Service Life Insurance. Now I want $5,000 more. Will I have to undergo a physical examination in order to receive this? A. Under the regulations concerning National Service Life Insurance, no physical is required if the application is made within 120 days after induction. TYNDALL TARGET Veteran Gunner, Shot Down While On Fiftieth Mission In European Theater, Assigned Ability to correct gun mal functions while in !light is the most important qualification or any aerial gunner, says a 22year-old PUIUler who was shot down while on his 50th mission over Nazi-occupied Europe and North Africa. The young gunner, who filled in as an aerial photographer when not busy at his guns, is Sgt. Robert Leon, or NeW york city, who has been assigned here by the AAF Reclassiricatlon Cen ter at Atlantic City, N.J. Leon explained that not only does a jammed gun spell disaster when you are being attacked by eneiny fighters, but even 1! the malfUnction occurs before you are jumped by a formation or enemy planes and you are unable to get your gun ln working order, 1 t means that your plane must turn back from its mission, leaving the rest or the ships ln your formation short-handed. In addition carrying a chest!ul or decorations, Sgt. Leon is one or that distinguished group or AAF crew members who have crash landed ln neutral ter ri tory and have managed to return to their original un1 ts. Leon was a member or the famed 321st Bombardment Group which earned a Presidential Citation for participating ln the !irst raid on military installations 1n Rome on August, 1943, and also in the raid on Sofia ln October or the same year. His group was the first Allied bombardment unit to operate from Italy. The sergeant entered the Air Corps in september, 1940, and was assigned to Mitchell Field for a short period after which he was transferred to Langley Field, Va. He remained at Langlay for 14 months as a clerk until December 8, when he was sent to the west coast and assigned to patrol duty the Pacific as an observer. In February, 1942, Leon was transferred back to the east, this time to Columbia, s.c where he joined the 321st and received his gunnery training. February, 1943, round the .Group operat1ng r!IOI!l oran, North Africa, To Tyndall ln missions against German shipPing orr Sicily. After 14 mis sions over Sicilian waters, t he unit followed the Allied advance into Tunisia and upon Germany's surrender there began to show e r lethal loads on targets in Italy. Beginning Octob e r 1, 194 3, the 321st carri ed out its aerial or f rns1 ve rrom a base in Italy, and was chiefly concerned with blasting enemy airfields and marshalling yards in the Balkans. I t was from the Italian base, as a turret gunner aboard a B-25 named Alley Cat II, that Leon set out on his EOth and last mission. The formation took orr c.t noon and headed out over the Aegean Sea w1 th a German-held airfield in Greece as the target. As the Planes cut across Yugoslavia, they were att.acked by enemy rlgpt ers. The ships tightened their formation and proceeded toward the target, leaving the enemy fighters to be dealt with by the escort. However, one or the German f ighters apparently radioed back to the target warning or the for mation's presence and probable destination, for upon their arrival over the airfield in Greece the Allied ships were greeted by a terrific barrage of flak. Tlley had bare l y begun their bombing run when the flak guns opened up. One shell hit the tail of the Alley cat II, exploding and kill ing the tall gunner. The pilot. Lt. William Baxter or Dayton, 0., tried to stay with the formation, until the left motor received a direct hit. Taking a quick poll, the crew decided to try to make a neutral country rather than ball out where they were. After several hours or desperate JTianeuvering, the ship reached neutral territory and crash-landed ln the pasture or a cavalry station. All or the Alley eat's crew were suffering from flak wounds, but managed to survive the bumpy landing. In add1 t1on to the Presidential Citation ribbon, Leon wear s the Air Medal, with seven clusters, awarded for his 50 missions, included the downing or an GUNNER OF THE CLASS Highest ranking gunner or Class 44-25 ls Pvt. Walter Willey, of North Brookfield, Mass. Willey is 19 years old and has been in fnl!orm nine months. He received his basic training at Greensboro, N.C., and is a graduate or Lowry Field' s armament school. Prior to entering the he was employed in a textile mill. Willey came close to equalling last week s eaunner or the Class, Pvt. Graham Hatfield, in his score on the final comprehensive exam. Hatfield scored a record 148, while Willey s mark was 141. However, Wllleys score or 94% on the t range was one o f the highest yet made by a student gunner. The new top-ranking gunner names his air-to-air missions as the most interesting phase of the gunnery training. PVT.

I gave him a short burst, and as he came alongside our ship he went into a slow roll. I gave him a longer burst in the belly and he went down in flame s The story or how Leon managed to return to his o utfl t is still a mill tary secret. But following his recovery from flak wounds, ror which he received the PUrple Heart, he was returned to the u.s. Arriving in washington late in March, 1944, he was interrogated thoroughly by G-2 and then sent to the Atlantic City Ke class1ficat1on Center. Before assignment to TYndall he received a furlough, during which he and the girl back home s i g ned a life-long contract at the altar. Aside from stressing the importance or correcting mal func tions, Sgt. Leon also cautioned student gunners to learn to identify enemy fighters instantly, and to be sure t hat you know your own escort fighters for the day. By COE and BARD!

June 17, J Another seven miles and American c,roops will have driven across the n er.J< of the Cherbourg peninsula, cutting off from the rest of France the great p ort which is so badly needed for pouring masses of men and materiel into the Second Battle of France. Reigneville, 10 miles fro m Port Bail o:!l the we.st coast of the _peninsula, and Pretot, seven miles from the west coast port of Lessay, have fallen to the ad vancing Americans. The invasion is going well, The Allied command said: "The Germans are dancing to our tune." During the past week, the Germans have begun to thrnw at the Allies. They have recovered from the initial shock of invasion, terrific attles are being fought, and thousands are dying on both sides. But even so it seems evident that the German com manders have not thrown their full force against the invasion armies. There are more landjngs coming. GenEisenhower himself said so, in so many words. The think Calais area will-be the site of o.ne -at tempt, and that there also will be a landing at Ostende, just across the French border in Belgium. The Germans reported an Allied fleet was massing in the Bay of Biscay, off southern France near Spain. And there is always the threat. of an attack from the Mediterranean through the Rhone valley, an in-vasion which the Germans think the French army will attempt. Countless small Normanqy villages fell ,o the Allies during the past week, and some of them were utterly destroyed in the process. The rebounding Germans captured an occasional town, forced the Allies to give way in some areas. But the overall picture showed a steady advance on all sides of the invasion front. During the week, American patrols had advanced to as close as 10 mi .les from Cherbourg, but the main force is some 14 miles from the port. In the first week of fighting, 10,000 some Ja2 troops_who were believed to be fighting with the Germans in order to gain information on American invasion tactics, fell into ed hands._ The German s unveiled a "secret weapon." Airplanes piloted by robots and apparent.ly controlled from other planes a _great distance away attacked southern England, causing considerable damage and some casual ties. On the Italian front, Terni, a town of 70,000 some 45 miles north of orne, fell to the swiftly-charging Allies. Terni is an industrial provincial capital. In Finland, Russian troops were forc ing their way through the new Mannerheim line in an advance on Viipuri, apparently hoping to drive Finland out of the war THE TYNDALL TARG.ET WEEK ENDING JUNE 16 0 and .free the menace to the Russ an flank which exists there. Our biggest bombers, the B-29 super _fortres sea, have finally gone "into action. Ame-rican correspondents who rt'l:-ew in the giant "dragon-flies" in thei.r first raid on Japan report that their first blow may-have knocked out a fift h of the enemy's steel production. The ra'id, on Thursday of thi: s week, was aimed at Yawata, the PittSburgh of Japan. Trains of demolition bombs exploded on the Imperial Iron and Steel Works, .which is said to produce cent of Japan's steel. The targ.et is on .northern Kyushu Island, the southernmost of the group of islands up J apan proper. The Department, at variance with Japanese reports which claim.eli that "several" B-29s were shot down said that two of the big planes fa-riled to return but that they were lost t b .ecause 9 of -accide-nts and not because df enemy action. Kyushu is one of Japan's m ost strongly defended home islands. It is sveral hundred miles southwest of 'ro -*yo. An American told the R ouse im-mediately after the raid that and Yokohama,had been bombed, but l:;he War Department and J ap ane se announcements I MARSH All I SLAH OSdid not bear out his &tatements. The which can carry more explosives faster., higher a n d far ther than any other plane, flew from a n.etwork of bases in we.stern Chinabases buiit by 450,000 Chine.se laborers, men, women and children. Japanese sources followed the disclosure of the B-29 raid by announcing that an Allied naval task force y .esterday attacked the Bonin island group, some 600 miles southeast of Japan. Allied sourc es have not mentioned the in which the Japs said 17 raiding planes were shot down. Should bases be captured in the Bonin group, of course, Allied planes would be within easy bombing range of an and even close enough for fighter escorts to make the trip. Also reported by the Japs, and uncon firmed by Allied was an raid on Korea. In a land engagement, .AJt.erican amphib ious forces are Jap troo_ps on the island of Saipan, in the Marianas, 1 496 miles from Tokyo and 1,100 miles west of the Marshall Islands.

The reason we've kept our peace these last few weeks is that ror sqme strange reason whenever we go into a complimentary song and dance over one or our baseball players, that poor guy's average drops .200 points the next day, or if it happens to be about a pitcher, he usually hurls 30 innings before he chalks up the next win. However, since the boys have regained their_ stride, we're going to risk eXPosing them to .>. bit or well-deserved PUblicity. Except on rare occasions, the Tyndall team has played together as one big happy family, and if they better last season's record of 21 wins out of 30. starts, it will be due largely to this factor of close team p -lay. But don't gather from the preceding prognos tication that all is sugar and honey with the Tornadoes, and that if one of the boys a dumb play he receives congratulations when he comes into the dugout. Far from it! That fellow probably will take the ribbing of his life. Take the case or "Pat Patterson. While Pat in recent games was running up a hitting streak of 1 3 straight, he was the victim of constant belittling and riding by his teammates. Perhaps a little of the "Jockeying was due to jealousy, but on the whole the boys were riding him to take the edge orr his accomplishment, which was truly sensational, and help relieve him of any pressure he might be under. And you can take Pat's word for it, he was under plenty or Pressure! When I came up to bat that 13th time, all I could see was a big "13" riding on each pitched ball! Each time Pat beat out an infield srounder, the boya in the dug-' out would turn to each ot.her with the crack, 'Gee, I wish I could steal base hits that way!' And there is your story behind Patter son's hitting streak. He ran out everything he hit and in at least sir of those thirteen hits his speed was the difference between a safety and an out. Lefty Southard finally overcame a two year Jinx last Saturday when he defeated Whiting Field, 9-2. In more than a half dozen contests with Pensacola Navy teams in the past two years, Lefty has always come out second best; that is, until Saturday. In most of those games Lefty Pitched the kind of ball that is usually more than good enough to win bu t no _soap. In downing Whiting, Lefty added H s _trikeouts to his already impressive total. And now that Lefty has shaken orr the spell which Navy uniforms cast over him, we can look for him and Dale Livingston to successfully handle the majority or the Tornadoes' future tilts. Livingston, a righthander, sports a beautiful fast ball with good control. We really add another TjF hurler to the list of stars. You probably won't ee him in action very often anymore, but should the occasion arise when 'Fireball' Joe Flanagan is out to the mound, we'd. like you to know a 1i tile about him. Joe's record last year was 6 wins against 2 defeats. This year he's won one game in. three starts. The boys call him 'Fireball' because when he throws, his fastest ball you can still count the stitches in-the seams. But Joe doesn't on his arm anymore, not since he stopped a line drive with the musc,les of his pitching arm in a practice game late last season. Since then Joe has been pitching mostly with his head and his heart. you try to belittle the other team's hits "SAFETY FIRST! 11 off him, or tell him 1t just wasn't hls day-he knows you're just being nice.

Pa e 9 CARBIN-ALEXANDER GO HIGHLIGHTS WEEKLY BOXING SHOW A near capacity crowd was on hand last 'l\le811ay night to watch Tyndall's boxers, under the guidance or Lt. John Clleder, pair up ror six bouts on the regular weekly ring card. The !eature bout of the evening saw scrappy George Carbin or Detroit step into the ring against Bob Alexander or Ithaca, N.Y. Carbin, who in his three prev1ous !ights here caught the rancy or the crowd by his aggressiveness, was held to even terms by Alexander in the !irst round. In the second, both tired perceptibly and !ell into !requent clinches. It was in the third round that Carbin !inally let loose with a barrage or blows which had Alex ander against the ropes most or the way and earned !or carbin the decision. In the evening's rirst bout, two Massachusetts boys, Hobby crocker and Dave Benson, swapped punches in a well-!ought contest which saw Benson emerge the victor by a close decision. Bob Ser!in or BU!!alo, N.Y., was the winner by decision over Boston's Chuck Benlldtt in the second go o! the even in g Herb Kaurman or New York and Ed Hutto o! Panama1City1s Bay High school came out even arter three rounds in which neither fighter landed any hard punches. In the !ourth !igh t on the cara, Charl.es curran or Massachusetts and George Pynn or Wisconsin put on an exhibition or rancy rootwork. Both !1ghters missed blows by wide margins. The heaviest fighting occurred in the third round when P.ynn drove Curran through the ropes with a flurry or punches. The match was called a draw. In the hard-hitting semi-windup Dinty Moore and Charles Davey gave the crowd quite a show. Davey, a T/F newcomer, hailing from Detroit as does Moore, dis played Plenty or ring ability and had Hoare s number almost rrom the start. In the second round, Davey caught Moore with several hard le!ts to the race which raised a swelling below Moorers right eye. However, Moore was game to the end and was still in there f!gh tlng when the !1nal bell sounded, even though the decision was Davey s by a fairly wide margin. Sgt. Don Zinni alternated wlth Lt. Robert Goldstien as re!eree frr the evening, with Lt. Gold stien handling the anriouncers chores. If You Pick Up ANYTHING SUSPICIOUS TELL INTELLIGENCE Phone 3104
